1. Shooting Angle: The model stands in front of the police station, and the photographer crouches slightly to shoot from a low angle, enhancing the grandeur of the building and the depth of the frame.
2. Composition: Use the rule of thirds to place the model on the right one-third of the image, with the building on the left to create balance.
3. Lens Focal Length: Recommend using a 50mm (camera) or 2x (phone) focal length to highlight the details of the model and the building, while avoiding a cluttered composition.
4. Other Shooting Techniques: Use a slow shutter speed to create a motion blur effect, emphasizing the model's stillness and creating contrast and atmosphere.
